It sucks I’m going to have to wait an extra hour for my picks to lose today.

^lol - I like My Man Flintstone as well today for whatever little that’s worth. Looking forward to seeing Golden Pal run today - needed him to hang on at Ascot for a decent score but still was one of the few profitable races of that meet for me.

I’ll update my record tomorrow. Horrible picks Wednesday and was too busy with work yesterday.

Best Bet Race 9 #7 Kept Waiting - ran too well to lose last out. More worried about Micromillion than Gaelic Gold honestly but hope they both take money as I’d be happy with the 5/2 ML.
BEst Value Race 7 #2 Lady by Choice - Don’t trust the favorites in here and her form is dirtied up certainly off the last trip but the last few rides in general I think have been less than stellar.

My 2nd best bet would be Kept Waiting...which means it isn’t too late to change your pick! I’m not a huge fan of the ML favorite for race 7 so I was looking to take a shot there but just didn’t have a strong feel on the horses and kinda like #5 Flat Awesome Jenny.

Good luck.

I know I had him as my best bet, but even money on the #6 there was pretty ridiculous. He picked up some ground late but it looks like he is not fast enough for 5.5 furlongs.

Best bets: $32.00 wagered. $11.20 returned.
Longshots: $32.00 wagered. $18.80 returned.
Total: $64.00 wagered. $30.00 returned.

After a nice start, I haven't hit anything since Baffert's Tale of the Union ran 2nd over a week ago now. Yikes!

Best bet. Race 3 - #5 French Reef (4/5 ML). Considering the fact that I haven't picked a single top 2 finisher in a week, I'm going to just go with the horse that I think has the best chance of running top 2 tomorrow. Normally, I'd try to search for a little value...but I've got to do something to end this losing streak. This one is very fast and I don't think the others will be able to keep up. But you may want to bet a few dollars against him, just in case my streak continues.

Longshot. Race 7 - #2 Plot the Dots (8/1 ML). Last time out, Trombetta sent this one into stakes company for his turf debut. Bumped a couple times at the start, he was wide throughout and seemed to run out of gas toward the end of the race. But he'll now get much needed class relief and Rosario can hopefully work out a nice trip for him to close into what looks like a pretty honest pace. He's got that tall, leggy frame that we often see from Uncle Mo progeny and I always like to see that for turf routers. Given that the connections thought highly enough of him to throw him into a stakes race, I think he could be dangerous here.

Actually felt pretty good about these picks so it figures that 1-3-5-7 are off the turf. Without comment, I'll switch my picks to:

Best bet. Race 5 - #11 Likeable (4/1 ML)
Longshot. Race 10 - #2 Kid Chocolate (15/1 ML)
